Crass Records label discography

Anarchist band Crass set up their own label in 1978 after experiencing problems with their first release "The Feeding of the 5000" on Small Wonder Records. A pressing plant in Ireland refused to handle the material due to its extreme political message, and the record was forced to be issued with 2 minutes of silence replacing the offending track "asylum". Crass reissued the EP in complete form and also issued newly-titled "Reality Asylum" as a single. They quickly established themselves as the rallying point for bands with an anarchist message such as Zounds, Flux of Pink Indians and KUKL, who featured a very young Bjork on lead vocals. The records were famous for their covers, all of which were fold-outs with lyrics and images crammed throughout. Amongst other things Crass challenged the church ("Christ - The Album"), the British Government ("How Does It Feel") and the institution of marriage ("Our Wedding") and in the process established a "corporate image" the integrity of which has seldom been equalled.
